Day 16 – Akureyri

Waking up at the campsite in Akureyri, I realized I was smack-dab in the middle of the city. There were people waiting for buses, cars honking and kids walking to school. A bit different from the serene campsites of the past 2 weeks.

Akureyri is a smaller version of Reykjavik. I wound up walking around the whole city, which took the better part of my day.

There were loads of people (by Icelandic standards), it being a sunny Saturday.

After hanging around all day, eating different foods and multiple coffees, I decided to head to a campsite on the outskirts of town.

Hamrar campsite was much better. Secluded in the mountains, it had great facilities and a friendly owner. There were a lot of people out here camping too, and I met some interesting folk.

I was up till 2am reading the Elon Musk autobiography. It isn’t very interesting. And a little haphazardly written.
